some bruises on his sides, but nothing Sc

and the professors Four hundred students
were on hand to greet the visitors, and on
the entry of Mr.. O'Brien they burst out into
a storm of cheers. George A. Griffin, of

replied.

THE RowDY ELEMENT IN FORCE.
A great crowd of persons greeted
Mr.. OBrien as he stepped off the
train. The party was driven to the
Burnett House, where crowd had collected,
which heartily cheered him. A battery of
the regular artillery corps was held in readi-
ness fully armed at the barracks in Ontario
street, and the Fourteenth prince of Wales
Own Rifles were maSsed at the drill shed on
Union street. Besides this large number
of special constables We're sworn in to aid
the police force. On arriving at the skating
rink, where the meeting was to be held,
crowds of Mr.. O'Brien's friends were found
gathered around the building and along the
sidewalk.
NO SIGNS OF TROUBLE.
Not an opposing voice was heard, nor a
suspicious or rowdy-looking person seen
lurking in any quarter. The audience num-
bered about ZOO, many of whom We're
women and all of whom listened attentively
They were well dressed and as enthusiastic
responsive to Mr.. O'Brien's eloquence as any
IN Canada. When Mr.. OBrien had finished
speaking, the unexpected and somewhat
ominous calm was for the first time broken.
II was o'clock at night when Dennis
Kilbride began his statement, and then the
hrSt noise was heard outside the hail. where
several hundred men and boys were collect
ed, crying God Save the Queen" and
groaning. for Mr.. O'Brien. Every cheer
which went up inside the hall was answered
by loud roar and an angry response from

ample material in the street to carry out
any mnrderous design they might have. At
length the meeting closed Then the peo-
pie started to go out, Mr.. OBrien's party
being in the rear. Mr. O'Brien's friends
hurried him to the 'front.' and he stopped on
the sidewalk, wearing his usual tall hat
Immediately the Orangemen saw him and
raised yell of vengeance and rushed to-
ward him. Broken stones then began flying
women screamed, and general cofusion
reigned.

Drag him out here on the street! Kill him
lear him asundern and they almost burst
through Mr.. O'Brien's bodyguards A man
changed hats with Mr.. O'Brien, as that worn
by the latter had furnished a target
tor the mob, and as the party
doubled into Wellington street an
other shower of bricks came crashing
through the crowd. Mr.. O'Brien and his
friends bent their heads, but received the
missiles on the body. d. +. Kellogg, the
Sun correspondent, and J. NJ. Wall, repro
